    Laptop Battery Health Question


    I was wondering if it is better to keep your laptop always plugged in,
    or to plug it in only when the battery is dead/almost dead.
    Would your battery last longer if you pugged it in only when necessary or constantly?

    Thanks

    If you are sitting near an outlet and your battery has a decent charge, take the battery out and just use the power from the wall. This way your battery isn't getting a constant flow of electricity coming to it, which should diminish any sort of life cycle decreases.

    Obviously, if you are using your laptop and plan on taking it somewhere immediately after doing whatever you are doing, you can leave the battery in.
